Pilophorus cinnamopterus

*Pilophorus cinnamopterus* (Kirschbaum, 1856)
A rare species nationally, but there are surprisingly three records from Nottinghamshire, where the first county record seems to be from Spalford Warren in 2002 (Kirby, P.) from Clumber Park in 2003 (Binding, A. and Binding, A.E.) and the one's below, found on Pine scrub at Vexation Lane near Rufford in August 2021 (Pendleton, T.A.). Pilophorus cinnamopterus is one of several similar species, closely resembling and behaving like Ants.
